The bread pledge

Bread is the most widely-eaten prepared food that there is. Bread is made from wheat, a biblical harvest symbol. World evangelism is as basic to the mission of the church as bread is to nutritionally balanced diets.

Pledge for missions committee or council members

We will work to enrich the lives of others

We will seek to raise the level of concern for missions and missionaries

We will be aware that our work has great value in the sight of our Lord -- just as bread has great food value

We will work to bring Jesus, the staff of life, to the world

"I am the bread of life" -- Jesus of Nazareth in John 6:35

This pledge can be used in a variety of situations, including installation services and annual planning retreats. Small loaves of bread can be given out to those making the pledge.
